Spoilers
All of the action in the scene was internal. This was an awesome episode if you've watched the whole series but the most boring possible episode if you haven't.
Gus is gay. He liked that guy a lot and was considering asking him to come home with him but he realized that if he does fall in love he's putting that person in danger. He can't have any personal connections. Gus loved talking to a guy who he was attracted to who still had enthusiasm for living. Gus and everyone around him live their lives paranoid and afraid all the time. They don't have time to sit back and enjoy the simple things in life. Gus gained a lot of money and influence but lost the ability to have anyone in his life he really cares about. Gus realized he is and always will be alone.
Mike realized that despite what he tells himself, he really is only marginally better than the people around him. He won't kill a total stranger for no real reason like Lalo did but he's destroy people's lives to make money and he will kill when he needs to.
And Kim finally woke up and realized what a horrible person she had become. She destroys people and enjoys doing it. The scene with Kim and Howards widow was the most painful and cruel scenes I've ever seen on TV ever. Kim was absolutely ruthless and pitiless. She might as well put a knife in her and and twisted it. That was psychological torture. It was horrible. She knew that she loved Jimmy with all her heart but the two of them together are toxic and drive each other to get worse and worse. That scene was absolutely incredible, and incredibly cruel.

I was just surprised that Joel believed Trace of all people was backing Jim when it's well known Trace has never particularly gotten along with Jim then or now. Yes, it was about the movie, but how could that tension not have affected day-to-day life at Best Brains? The show did change in significant ways after Joel left, not just on the surface but in the way it was written and performed outside the theater, in the host segments. Would it be such a stretch to say that those changes were made, and were indeed possible, because Joel was no longer there? Not judging here on whether those changes were good or bad, just different to what Joel would have done, and what he does with MST now proves it. It most certainly would have been different. Better, worse or the same, who knows? I'd bet that most of the disagreements were money and workload. It wouldn't surprise me if Joel wanted only the best which meant a lot of money and long hours of work. It's possible that Trace and Jim were on the same side of the argument for totally different reasons.

IMO, it was the artist vs the pragmatists who wanted the show to do well. Maybe Joel's vision would have been better but maybe the audience would have hated it and the show would have been canceled even earlier. That sort of thing happens all the time. Creative people want to create and do new things. Sometimes new things work and sometimes they don't. Other people find a concept that works and want to keep doing it. Experimenting within the concept instead of changing it all up. How is Joel's vision different than what we saw in Season 4/5? As far as I've seen and read he didn't have some vastly different vision for the show.. you watch bad movies with puppet robots and riff on it...
No one has said there was some drastically different vision of the show that Joel was pushing for and that is why he left...
It doesn't have to be that different. It just has to be more expensive like what happened when he actually did get the chance to make all the calls himself. Just differences of what is important and what is not.

Yeah i moved here from there too. It finally just died but it was a mercy killing. I loved it but the owner was M.I.A. for at least 4 years so there was nobody there to delete the (literally)thousands of spam-bot posts clogging up the forum and video comments. I finally missed talking with other fans so much i just signed up here a minute ago. Welcome. We like good MST3k talk. The more the merrier.

Watched FB Secrets of Dumbledore because it was free with HBO which I already get, so... What a waste of a movie. It was so stupid. That little Chillin (?) - whatever it was called - animal was cute, though. But it was a stupid premise. And they could just call it "Wizarding World" for the name of the series, ya know? They don't have to keep calling it Fantastic Beasts, since Newt and all the critters are pretty unimportant at this juncture and it's now more about Dumbledore and Grindelwald. The magic in these stories is so inconsistent. These wizards and witches can make wands, which pretty much put the universe in it's holders' grasps. They can bend space and time and put an entire menagerie in a SUITCASE - or TIME TRAVEL, for sh*t's sake. They can destroy - and then REBUILD - buildings in a flash, and yet they can't defeat ONE stinking wizard in Grindelwald (or later Voldemort). I know these powerful wizards have defenses, I guess, but come on. Ugh. They make everyone too powerful in some instances, and then not powerful enough when it's convenient. Maybe they're like Muggles - some people know how to build and program computers, others just push buttons but don't understand how it all works. Maybe wizards are like that. They can recite the spells and have the magic in them, but some just don't know how it all works and are just riding on the coattails of ones who came before. That's the explanation in my head cannon to explain the inconsistencies. I've read all the books and seen some of the movies. Different wizards have different levels of power. And getting wizards to work together is like herding cats. Millions of muggles could die and half of the wizard word would even realize it was happening. You rarely see two wizards fighting against one. My head canon is that if you are not trained to fight the chances of catching a rebounded spell is too high.
